Today's visit to the ships of #EUNAVFORAtalanta and #EUNAVFORASPIDES alongside HRVP @kajakallas underscores the EU's commitment to maritime security where it matters most.
From countering piracy to protecting freedom of navigation, these operations safeguard international trade, regional stability and European interests. Meeting the crews firsthand highlights the professionalism, readiness and dedication that turn Europe's commitments into action.

EU naval operations @EUNAVFORASPIDES and @EUNAVFOR Atalanta are indispensable to safeguarding maritime security in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
It was impressive to see the professionalism and commitment of the crews on the Italian and Spanish navy vessels firsthand. Their work helps keep some of the world's most vital shipping lanes open.
Aspides has already protected more than 670 merchant vessels against the threat of Houthi attacks, while Atalanta is playing a pivotal role in combatting piracy and deterring arms trafficking off the Somali coast.
